Configuring custom alias Gmail in your email application
This week we have bought a domain at Google Domains and thanks to this article from Kathy Li we were able to create an alias in our Gmail account.
After that we have wanted to add this Alias email in a regular email application (not form Google) and we had some problems.
We searched about this and the information was not really clear, that’s the reason because I wanted to write this article to try to help others in the same situation, is a really short article to show how to configure your alias account to receive and sent emails in applications that at not from Google.
For this example imagine that you have this data:
- Domain: myalias.com
- Email: hi@myalias.com
- Gmail: himyalias@gmail.com
You also need to have everything configured as Kathy Li says and you still need your app password or generate another one.
Configuring in Outlook for iOS or Android
- Open Outlook application and click “Add account”.
- Now add your account with the alias and click “Add” or “Setup Manually”.
